[opensuse-buildservice] SPEC-File patching
Hello, Is it possible or can it be implemented to have a patchfile for the SPEC File? When I link to a package of another project I usually detect errors in the specfile, which prevent build for some targets/destinations/... I then checkin my own SPEC-File to fix that. But this has some disadvantages: - It's impossible to see, what I changed, - Changes in the original project are not copied Checking in a file xxx.spec.patch would make it easier to do such things. Also you can then send the original package maintainer a link to the new package and he/she can look at the diff file and maybe include this stuff in the original package.

Thanks for the link. I fixed the entry a bit to be more verbose and correct. It is now http://en.opensuse.org/Build_Service/Tips_and_Tricks#Patches_against_linked_... :-) Seems my home project gets more and more an allover demo-project, as I step for step use all the possibilities of Build Servcie. Debian and Ubuntu is my next aim (at least for some packages).
